2,500 soldiers killed for WMD that were not there, and a terrorism link that did not exist.
At the same time, while Iraq has dominated the news in the US, the situation in Afghanistan- where the terrorists really were- is still not resolved. Today, in fact, the largest military action since the initial invasion into the country is underway in an effort to deal with the Taliban. The Taliban still maintains an active fighting force in Afghanistan, requiring the effort of 11,000 US and coalition forces to fight them.
Not only does the US have two unfinished wars on its hands, it has two wars with no end in sight.
The key difference between the two- the war in Iraq was completely unnecessary and unjustified.
